Anyone seen The Medway Handyman?

That is what years of self righteous socialism does to people.

It depends if they disagree with me in a bigoted and unpleasant way. Plenty of people disagree with me without being racist and intolerant of the weak and underprivileged. Especially about the EU.

[tim...]

and how do you glean that simply from posts supporting one view or another?

[Richard]

Because he is a bigot.

[Roger Hayter]

Obviously, I don't. For instance, although I disagree with his conclusions, TNP's posts could have been written forty years ago by Anthony Wedgwood Benn (apart from the wilful misidentification of corporatist EU policies as "socialism"). I disagree with him, but he demonstrates little bigotry. Others seem to hate foreigners, Muslims and poor people, and even young people, and it spills over into their Brexit posts; and often, strangely, cyclists.

Well I am not that keen on the French no matter what age or religion they are.

But lets be honest, who is?

[Roger Hayter]

Oddly enough, the French are a protected species under the more recent anti-discrimation legislation.

Strange, but true.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Im ma SO sorry. I never realised you were weak and underprivilged. You always come across as fat smug and very comfortable.

Like most people who claim to be on the side of the weak and underprivileged.

Usually with an element of patronising racism in their thinking, so an underprivileged Botswanan scores more than an underprivileged Swede...

Plague of Frogs. Read it in Nostradamus or something.

Their letters used to be quite popular.

I wonder if you are talking about our own dear Turnip or someone else?

Here's a bit of a recent post:-

And kill all remoaners, invade Europe and liberate them from the EU and the Germans AGAIN.

[Roger Hayter]

That was, I think, a bit on the hypothetical side. Rather than an immediate policy suggestion.

[Dave Plowman (News]

But of course I don't swallow any twaddle. I've left that to you leavers with your 180m a week to the NHS etc.

Quite amazing how easy some were fooled.
